Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) seeks to develop
educational institutions in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, implement innovative
educational policies, create plans and programs that improve education, and
support educational institutions and staff to advance national development in
accordance with the highest international standards. ADEC deployed Oracle E-Business
Suite as
the foundation for a shared services environment that provides more than 300
locations in three regions with identical enterprise applications and services,
significantly reducing their IT infrastructure total cost of ownership. They unified
their business logic and procedures by using shared Oracle E-Business Suite
applications, which are hosted in a demilitarized zone—dramatically improving
business performance and data availability and security. All this while
consuming 95% less energy than before when delivering HR, procurement, and
financial services.

ADEC also streamlined their procure-to-pay
processes with Oracle Advanced Procurement, reducing paper usage in its daily HR and procurement
operations by more than 90% by almost fully automating services such as payroll
reporting, leave requests, and training requests. Using Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Editionto measure adherence to key performance indicators—such as
amount of waste produced and energy consumed—ADEC enables ongoing
sustainability that meets international environmental standards. Oracle’s Agile Product Governance and Compliance has also helped ADEC better comply with regulatory
directives, such as proactive and retroactive corrective environmental, health,
and safety measures. Read here for more
information on their story.
